DELTA and Mr. Martin O’Hara has once again joined forces to repeat the great success from the beginning of 2008, where the EMC Club, DELTA and Mr. Martin O’Hara delivered a one-day training course with 115 attendees, providing knowledge about EMC design at component and PCB level, presented by an industry expert.
The response was positive and we have been encouraged to provide the opportunity to attend to more people.

Who should attend?
The one-day training course is targeted at electronic and PCB design engineers, who want practical advice on how to design for EMC compliance from the start of a project. During the training you will be presented for good EMC design practice, presented by Mr. Martin O’Hara, who has designed products for environments requiring a severe level of EMC immunity.
EMC at component and PCB level
Down to the bottom line, developing electronics is all about developing a physical product matching the good idea, pictured inside the head of an innovative person.
If the product on the market gives a good turnover - then the electronic circuit design engineers get the opportunity to create a new product.
Designing the required EMC level into the product already from the very beginning of the design faze saves a lot of money and has a great influence on time to market. At DELTA we call it EMC Management (dk). The technical alternatives for EMC solutions are many in the beginning and limited in the end of the design faze, where many to often has experienced the need for implementing expensive EMC components into the product.

EMC at component and PCB level - How can this be done, you ask? By applying correct design techniques at the component and PCB level, it is possible to minimize product costs and maximize the chances of passing the required EMC compliance testing at the first attempt.

During the training you will be presented for good EMC design practice, presented by Mr. Martin O’Hara, who has designed products for environments requiring a severe level of EMC immunity.
The training is spiced with rules of thumb, which secures progress in the EMC design without necessarily having to use heavy mathematics. You will be presented for the common techniques to avoid EMC problems both at the component selection and layout stages and Martin O’Hara will share his tips on embedded software issues that can produce time delaying problems if not considered.
